The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart pumps blood through the network of arteries, veins, and capillaries that make up the blood vessels. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products as it circulates through the double circulatory system. In the lungs, blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, and the heart pumps oxygenated blood throughout the body via arteries while bringing deoxygenated blood back to the lungs through veins.

- 3. The circulatory system is made up of: 1. heart - pumps blood around the body vein heart artery 2. blood vessels - network of tubes to carry blood around the body 3. blood - a liquid that transports materials around the body
- 4. What is the circulatory system? The circulatory system carries blood and dissolved substances to and from different places in the body. The Heart has the job of pumping these things around the body. The Heart pumps blood and substances around the body in tubes called blood vessels. The Heart and blood vessels together make up the Circulatory System.
- 5. How does this system work? pulmonary vein pulmonary artery lungs head & arms aorta main vein Right Left liver digestive system kidneys legs Circulatory System
- 6. Our circulatory system is a double circulatory system. This means it has two parts parts. Lungs the right side of the left side of the system the system deals with deals with oxygenated deoxygenated blood. blood. Body cells
- 7. The Heart This is a vein. It brings blood from the body, except the lungs. These are arteries. They carry blood away from the heart. 2 atria 2 ventricles Coronary arteries, the hearts own blood supply The heart has four chambers now lets look inside the heart
- 8. EXTERNAL VIEW OF THE HEART
- 9. INTERNAL VIEW OF THE HEART
- 10. The Heart Artery to Lungs Vein from Head and Body Right Atrium valve Right Ventricle Artery to Head and Body Vein from Lungs Left Atrium valve Left Ventricle
- 11. How does the Heart work? STEP ONE blood from the body blood from the lungs The heart beat begins when the heart muscles relax and blood flows into the atria.
- 12. How does the Heart work? STEP TWO The atria then contract and the valves open to allow blood into the ventricles.
- 13. How does the Heart work? STEP THREE The valves close to stop blood flowing backwards. The ventricles contract forcing the blood to leave the heart. At the same time, the atria are relaxing and once again filling with blood. The cycle then repeats itself.
- 14. blood from the heart gets around the body through blood vessels There are 3 types of blood vessels a. ARTERY b. VEIN c. CAPILLARY
- 15. The ARTERY Arteries carry blood away from the heart. the elastic fibres allow the artery to stretch under pressure thick muscle and elastic fibres the thick muscle can contract to push the blood along.
- 16. The VEIN Veins carry blood towards from the heart. veins have valves which act to stop the blood from going in the wrong direction. thin muscle and elastic fibres body muscles surround the veins so that when they contract to move the body, they also squeeze the veins and push the blood along the vessel.
- 17. The CAPILLARY Capillaries link Arteries with Veins they exchange materials between the blood and other body cells. the wall of a capillary is only one cell thick The exchange of materials between the blood and the body can only occur through capillaries.
- 18. The CAPILLARY A collection of capillaries is known as a capillary bed. bed artery body cell vein capillaries
- 19. what’s in digested food red blood cells white blood cells oxygen waste (urea) platelets carbon dioxide plasma hormones
- 20. The Blood red blood cell platelets white blood cell plasma
- 21. Red Blood Cells a biconcave disc that is round and flat without a nucleus contain haemoglobin, a molecule specially designed to hold oxygen and carry it to cells that need it. can change shape to an amazing extent, without breaking, as it squeezes single file through the capillaries.
- 22. White Blood Cells there are many different types and all contain a big nucleus. the two main ones are the lymphocytes and the macrophages. macrophages ‘eat’ and digest microorganisms . some lymphocytes fight disease by making antibodies to destroy invaders by dissolving them. other lymphocytes make antitoxins to break down poisons.
- 23. Platelets Platelets are bits of cell broken off larger cells. Platelets produce tiny fibrinogen fibres to form a net. This net traps other blood cells to form a blood clot.
- 25. Plasma It also contains useful things like; • A strawcoloured liquid that carries the cells and the platelets which help blood clot. carbon dioxide • • • • • • • glucose amino acids proteins minerals vitamins hormones waste materials like urea.
